#DidYouKnow today is National Disability Independence Day? On this day in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed, prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. Since then, workplaces have become more inclusive, but there's always more to do! Advocate for inclusivity in your workspace by: 💙 Providing captioned phones and video meetings with AI-produced captions. 💙 Creating adjustable and spacious workstations. 💙 Offering flexible hours and remote work options to eliminate transportation barriers These are just a few ways to make your workplace more disability friendly! Let's continue working towards a more accessible future together. #DisabilityIndependenceDay #ADA30 #DisabilityPrideMonth #PositivelyPartners

In October, we proudly recognize National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), celebrating the invaluable contributions of workers with disabilities. Did you know that 1 in 4 Americans have a disability? It’s a powerful reminder that the people we work alongside every day bring unique skills and perspectives, whether their disabilities are visible or invisible. This year’s theme, "Access to Good Jobs for All," encourages us to not only acknowledge the talents of employees with disabilities but also to actively promote a more inclusive and accessible workplace. By making small changes, we can create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Let’s use this month to learn, share, and advocate for inclusivity—because when everyone has access, we all succeed together. #NDEAM #InclusionMatters #DisabilityAwareness #AccessForAll

Next Tuesday (3rd December) at 1.30pm UK time, Adam Tobias will be delivering a FREE 1-hour Masterclass webinar about Disability @ Work, coinciding with 'International Day of Persons with Disabilities' (an awful name in our opinion - We are advocates of the social model of disability). Inventum is thrilled to be running this session in conjunction with the RNIB. Registration details in the comment section. We'll define disability at work, consider legislation and adjustments, the benefits (for everyone) of disability inclusion, and how to create a more disability-friendly workplace. #disabilityinclusion hashtag #internationaldayofpersonswithdisabilities hashtag #royalnationalinstituteofblindpeople hashtag #equitydiversityandinclusion

Happy world usability day! This video is a couple of years old now but it's a powerful video that asks people with disability in Australia on what they wish people knew about their life and experiences. Would love to hear more about what you're doing in your practice to design for all. https://lnkd.in/gXQ8uaPa #accessibility #inclusion #disability #usability #userExperience
